Situation in Kryvyi Rih 

The head of the Kryvyi Rih Defense Council, Oleksandr Vilkul, reported explosions in the city and a massive raid by Russian Shahed drones.

"Do not film or post anything online. Many Shaheds are still in the air — take care of yourselves and your loved ones," he noted.

Later, Vilkul confirmed drone strikes in several locations.

The head of the Regional Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak, clarified in the morning that a private house in Kryvyi Rih was partially destroyed, and four more were damaged. A non-operational building, a private enterprise, and solar panels caught fire — the flames were extinguished. An industrial facility was also damaged.

No casualties were reported.

Attack on Sumy

As a result of Russian strikes on critical infrastructure, part of the Sumy district has been left without power, reported the head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration, Oleh Hryhorov, and the acting mayor of Sumy, Artem Kobzar.

"Medical facilities and other critical sites have switched to backup power. Restoration work is ongoing, but the return of electricity may take some time. We’re doing everything possible to speed up the process," Hryhorov wrote.

Part of Sumy has been left without electricity, and some medical facilities are operating on generators, Kobzar added.
